"I don't sleep in the bedroom if my wife isn't home", Granit Xhaka to the BBC: I don't want to be alone!

Granit Xhaka gave an interview to the BBC where he spoke about the current season and his private life.

The return to Sunderland and his fantastic form has made all the media interested in an interview with the Albanian midfielder, writes Indeksonline

He was recently a guest on the BBC, and during the interview he made a strong statement about loneliness.

Xhaka does not prefer to be alone, this is also due to the events they experienced as a family, fleeing to Switzerland during the war in Kosovo, and many other things.

"I hate being alone. I don't like being lonely. I think because of my football career. Because of some bad moments we've had.

"I'm a person who, if my family isn't here, I need people to be around."

"For example. If my wife or children are not at home, I don't sleep in the room. I sleep in the living room or somewhere else. I feel very bad," said Granit Xhaka.

We recall that Xhaka has not appeared in several matches for Sunderland, due to an injury.Indeksonline/
